There are basically three types of religions in the world. The first type is atheism which says that there is no God. Psalm 14:1 calls the people who believe there is no God fools. The second type of religion is pantheistic which says that nature is god. This group says that the universe is in control of itself and knows what it wants to Pantheism imparts a divine nature to the elements. The third type of religion says that God is outside of, above, and beyond His creation. He is not limited by His creation in any way. This is the almighty infinite God of the Bible.

What about polytheism?

So the Bible, a book written by people who believe in God and want everybody else to believe in God, espouses the opinion that you should believe in God?

Well, never thought of it that way before. Guess I was a fool.

First, if at all, atheism could, perhaps, to differentiate it from agnosticism, be viewed as a belief, but not as a religion, not even as a belief system.

Secondly, as Bastethotep already touched on, there are polytheistic religions, but also non-pantheistic nature gods, spirits, systems of past gods in absentia, etc.

Third, the system assigned to the Bible god was obviously defined specifically for him. It doesn’t work that way.

The whole categorical system is extremely primative and tendentious. I wrote my thesis about the same time and my professor would have been livid if I had attempted to include such a juvenile definition.

Frankly - and compared to your worse-than Khorne 'deity' - the Neo-Pagans have more credibility.

I'd rather listen to our own fair SpukiKitty than you, Kent 'Prison Bitch' Hovind.

Using your bullshit to prove your bullshit, eh? NEXT!

Well, atheism isn't a religion, and it doesn't "say there is no God." And I'd bet you could find more than three types of religions, depending on how you look at it. Aside from that, I guess he's right....

“There are basically three types of religions in the world. The first type is atheism…”

And instant fail. You couldn’t even get two sentences in before making a logical fallacy.

The third type of religion says that God is outside of, above, and beyond His creation. He is not limited by His creation in any way. This is the almighty infinite God of the Bible.

The bible dosen’t teach that. God is often scared, worried, and angered by the actions of his creation. He regretted creating mankind and sent a flood. He was afraid that Adam and Eve would become gods if they ate from both trees. He feared that a united humanity would build a tower to Heaven. The god you speak of is the proposed perfect being of the Greek philosopheers, whose arguments early Christians plagiarized.

There are three types of religion. Atheism, pantheism, and monotheism. And polytheism. There are four types of religion...

@Denizen: Don’t forget that the Bible explicitly states that God is powerless against iron chariots, as well. And that he had to SEARCH for Adam & Eve in Eden, despite being supposedly omniscient? (Oh, and he made humans flawed, which either means he’s not all-knowing & infallible and made a mistake, or he did it on purpose and is not all-good.)
